Burns' Night

This week's session was hosted by Richard in the planned absence of Mike and Maggie. Since it was Burns' Night we had our fair share of Scottish songs and those with more tenuous links to north of the border. Derek also used the reburial of Ned Kelly as an excuse for singing songs relating to him and other Australian outlaws. Simon pointed out that it was Ewan MacColl's birthday, so Alan sang a couple of his songs.

Mike and Maggie will be back next week, and there are rumours that there will be theme of "60s": 1760s, 1860s and 1960s, that is. If you're intending to come don't worry, the theme is never too strict, especially for first time visitors.
